A. /; a
B. /; /
C. the; the
D. a; a
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。

句意：对一个城市而言，能被选上举办奥运会，不仅是一份责任也是一种荣幸。

responsibility (责任)是可数名词，句中用的单数形式，所以前面要用不定冠词a；honor (使感到光荣的事或人，荣幸)是可数名词，前面有great修饰，前面要使用不定冠词a。

故选D项。

2.—What do you think of John?
—He by many, yet I think of him.
A. is highly thought of; well
B. is highly thought of; little
C. is thought of highly; little
D. is thinking highly of; nothing 【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。

句意：——你认为约翰怎么样？——很多人对他评价很高，但我觉得他不怎样。

think highly of sb.意为“对某人评价很高；尊重”，被动式形式是be highly thought of；think little of sb.意为“轻视；认为……没价值”。

故选B。

A. turn to
B. turn off
C. turn into
D. turn over

句意：在如此让人害怕的情况下，没有任何人可以求助，她很害怕。

A. turn to求助于，转向；B. turn off关掉；C. turn into变成；D. turn over(使)翻转；变换。

根据句意，此处表“向某人求助”，故选A。

4.Hengshui will soon take on a new look as many roads and streets widened or rebuilt.
A. had been
B. have being
C. are being
D. were being
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。

句意：因为很多道路和街道正在被拓宽或是重建，衡水很快会焕然一新。

分析句子可知，道路拓宽后新面貌才会呈现，主句动作是一般将来时态，从句应用一般现在时。

用be doing强调动作正在进行。

故选C。

5.She pretended _______ me when I passed by.
A. having not seen
B. not seeing
C. to not see
D. not to see
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

pretend后接不定式作宾语，pretend not to do“假装没有做”。

故选D。

6.Only when he reached the teahouse it was the same place he’d been in last year.
A. he realized
B. realized he
C. had he realized
D. did he realize
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句。

句意：只有当他到达茶社他才意识到这是他去年到过的同样的地方。

Only+时间状语从句置于句首时，句子用部分倒装，因为是先到达，然后才意识到，用一般过去式。

故选D。

7.These plants are watered________.
A. each other day
B. every other day
C. each of two days
D. every of two days
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定词组。

故选B。

8.—I made it at last. I am on top of the world!

A. Don’t fall down!
B. Oh, really?

D. Congratulations.
【答案】D

B. Oh, really?真的吗？C. So far, so good. 目前为止，一切顺利。

D. Congratulations.祝贺你。

听到对方说做成了某事，应该为对方感到高兴，要祝贺对方，故选D。

【点睛】情景对话题主要考查英语的日常用语、习惯用语以及各种场合的交际性语言，并从实际出发，考查交际语言的运用能力。

做题时仔细阅读上下文，找出上下文之间的联系。

9.Tom admitted ______ in the examination and he was not admitted _____ the school at last.
A. to cheat; to
B. cheating; to
C. to cheat; as
D. cheating; as
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查admit用法。

句意：汤姆承认在考试中作弊，最后没被学校录取。

admit(承认)后通常要接动名词作宾语，故排除A/C；admit用于被动式：be admitted to意思是“加入，获准做某事”。

由语境可知，此处是指“没有被学校录取”。

故选B。

10.Yesterday I bought an ancient Chinese vase, was very reasonable.
A. which price
B. its price
C. the price of which
D. and whose price
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句关系词。

句意：昨天我买了一个古老的中国花瓶，价格很合理。

分析句子的成分可知，后面的句子为一个非限制性定语从句，根据后面的表语为reasonable可知，定语从句的主语应该是“花瓶的价格（the price of the vase）”；先行词中的vase应用which代替，但仍需保留the price of，故用the price of which或者whose price引导从句。

故选C项。

【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。

先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为名词the price of the vase，再分析先行词the price of the vase在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词the price of the vase 带到从句中可知，只能主语，而先行词在主句只出现了the vase，还需补充the price of，故确定应填the price of which或者whose price。

11. You cannot imagine how she finished the race _____ her foot wounded so badly.
A. for
B. when
C. with
D. while 【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查with复合结构。

句意：你根本就无法体会，在脚伤得那么厉害的情况下她是怎样完成接力比赛的。

本句运用了with＋n./pron.＋done/adj.的复合结构，要注意her foot wounded so much不是一个完整句子，所以不能用连词when，while，for引导。

故选C项。

12.—I hear that Amy is trying to lose weight by taking weight-loss pills.
—In my opinion, looking good is important, but , staying healthy is far more important.
A. after all
B. in all
C. at all
D. above all 【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查短语辨析。

句意：——我听说艾米正试图通过吃减肥药减肥。

——在我看来，好看固然重要，但最重要的是，保持健康更重要。

A. after all毕竟；B. in all总共；C. at all根本、简直；D. above all最重要的是。

根据句意，此处强调比起减肥，健康是最重要
的。

故选D。

13.—What does the sign over there read?
—“No person smoke or carry a lighted cigarette in this area.”
A. may
B. can
C. shall
D. should 【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。

句意：——那个牌子上写了什么？——“任何人不得在此范围内吸烟或携带燃着的香烟。

”A. may可能；也许；B. can能；C. shall应该，必须；D. should 应该。

shall在陈述句中用于第二人称和第三人称时，可表示说话者的允诺、告诫、威胁、命令、规定、必然性等。

根据语境可知，此处表示规定。

故选C。

【点睛】shall作为助动词，一般用于第一人称Ⅰ和We，表示一个将来的动作，构成将来时态。

shall后面接动词原形。

常考的特殊用法：
1.shall用于第一人称，表示征求对方的意愿。

如:What shall we do this evening?
2.shall用于第一、第三人称疑问句中，表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。

如：Shall we begin our lesson? When shall he be able to leave the hospital?
3.shall用于第二、第三人称，表示说话人给对方命令、警告、允诺或威胁。

如：You shall fail if you don't work harder.(警告)
He shall have the book when I finish reading.(允诺)
14.—You look upset. What is the matter?
—I lost my handbag _______ my ID card and a lot of cash.
A. including
B. containing
C. included
D. contained
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词及非谓语动词辨析。

句意：——你看起来很不安，怎么啦？——我把手提包丢了，里面装着我的身份证和一些现金。

include包括；contain装有。

根据语境可知，此处使用contain，这里handbag与contain之间是主动关系，应使用现在分词作定语。

故用B。

【点睛】本题难度适中。

非谓语动词是高中阶段的重难点之一，要求考生会判断非谓语动词与它的逻辑主语之间是什么关系，同时这个题还会区分include与contain的区别及用法。

15.Stand over there ___ you’ll be able to see the oil painting better.
A. but
B. till
C. and
D. or
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查祈使句连接词。

句意：站到那边去，你将能更好地看到这幅油画。

A. but但是；
B. till知道；
C. and然后；
D. or否则。

这里是祈使句+and+陈述句，and连接了两个分句，两句间存在着一种顺承关系，其中前一分句表示一种条件或假设，相当于if条件状语从句，后一分句表示一种结果或推论。

“祈使句+or+陈述句”，or表示“否则，要不然的话”，or 可用or else或otherwise替换，从反面来预测结果。

根据语境可知，此处是顺承关系，应使用and连接。

故选C。

【点睛】本题难度适中。

固定句式不仅在单选中考查，还会出现在完形和短文改错中。

提醒考生注意高中阶段的固定句式
即学即练：Start out right away, __________ you’ll mi ss the first train.
A. and
B. but
C. or
D. while
解析：句意：马上开始，要不然的话，你就错过第一列火车了。

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking
more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work les s and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support.
I h ave to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?
36. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?
A. His job.
B. His pay.
C. His means of transport.
D. His health.
37. According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?
A. He got higher pay.
B. His working hours weren’t long.

Few of us haven’t read Cinderella (灰姑娘), the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart — we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻). Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured (特点) in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not —kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked (邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson, “The focus is firmly on following your dream.”
40. The first paragraph is mainly to ____________.
A. build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream
B. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years
C. tell us what is the Cinderella Story
D. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is
41. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.
B. Mary’s mother i nfluences her a lot in singing.
C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.
D. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.
42. The passage is mainly about ____________.
A. an introduction to a novel
B. a review about a film
C. a passage about dreams
D. an advertisement of Cinderella

Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the e nd of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.
Life is like a game and maybe you can award (奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.
What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.
It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should alway s have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t l et “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.
43. By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.
A. human beings should try to avoid (避免) making mistakes
B. no one is perfect (完美的) and everyone makes mistakes
C. mistakes and failures make up our life
D. human beings make mistakes easily
44. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
